I'm much, much worse on a snowboard than a surfboard, so fresh untracked powder is kind of a waste on me, but I just got back from repeatedly falling down an empty, deep powder mountain in Utah yesterday. A lot of fun, and much better quality snow than the last time I went up to Tahoe.

Any of you guys who go to Mammoth have a recommended shop for demo snowboard rentals? I can't believe the mountain wants over $100 a day, that's more than I spent in Jackson Hole.
Saw a pic from Squaw Valley last week. My brother and I have a friend with a condo down in the Village. Right next to the tram station.
Chairlifts buried up to only the tops of the towers are exposed. Chairs are buried underneath the snowpack.
Global Warming. We are s blemish.

Wow, I remember demo’ing premium board from Canyon lodge back in 2010 and it was $60 if I remember correct. I used my own bindings and they let me take it out the last 2 hours of the first day and keep it the entire 2nd day. Might be worth asking about that to max your demo time.scdad said:
As much as I hate the name, Wave Rave in Mammoth seems to stock some high end stuff (checked out a Carbon Flagship there) but not sure if they demo.

Well that hurts. Just cancelled my reservation for my Mammoth trip next week. Knee is slowly getting better but definitely not good enough to test it on the mountain ;(
The worst is I still have to go up to the area for work so I'll get a nice glimpse of what I'll be missing.

I rented a Burton Flight attendant 159W from Wave Rave for $50/day last weekend. SICKEST board I have ever ridden. Riding it through deep Pow was like a hot knife through butter, felt great under my feet.scdad said:
Eyeing a surgical pow strike to Baldy Thursday. It will be my first time and curious to get some feedback from those familiar with the place. Most importantly will the lifts be running if its puking snow? Looks like Friday will be Blue Bird but can foresee all of Southern California heading up then. It appears they reopened the road in yesterday. Driving up solo from San Diego so if anybody wants to join in on a strike mission PM me.

In S.D. and would love to go but am cutting out early on Friday for another trip so cant pull Baldy.GeoPac said:
Usually they'll open on a snow day but often take longer to de-ice the lifts, etc. since they're so old. Formal Winter Storm Warning in effect with 3-5 inches Wednesday night and another few Thursday. Good luck yo!
